Drake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Drake has been relentlessly in the spotlight these past few days as his European tour and musical output sync up for maximum visibility. On September 8, he officially dropped Dog House, a moody new single featuring Yeat and Julia Wolf, first premiered on his third episode of the ongoing ICEMAN livestream series. The track is already causing waves: not only does it expand the narrative of the ICEMAN project—Iceman being both his new creative livestream brand and the expected title of his ninth studio album—but it’s packed with layered references. Drake jabs playfully at hip hop lineage with lines about Nicki Minaj, Kris Kross, and The Notorious BIG, while Yeat tosses in a subtle shot at Kendrick Lamar with the money tree line, which fans instantly pegged as a deliberate diss. Rap-Up underscores that the song’s dark lyrics and the collaborative chemistry have added a heightened sense of anticipation surrounding Drake’s full album release. StupidDope highlights how Drake is leveraging strategic, genre-blurring collaborations in Dog House to refine his cultural dominance—pairing mainstream power with under-the-radar voices like Julia Wolf to keep the sound fresh for streaming audiences everywhere.

While the music dominates the airwaves, Drake’s public appearances in Europe have thrilled fans. On September 7 and 8, he shut down Paris’s Accor Arena, and he’s poised for a string of shows in Berlin, Munich, and Hamburg through mid-September according to both Shazam and JamBase. The tour dovetails perfectly with the buzz around ICEMAN, and fans are getting both new material and first listens to livestream exclusives before tracks hit digital platforms.

As for business activity, Impact Wealth notes that Drake’s empire remains rock solid in 2025, with investments from OVO Sound, OVO Clothing, Nike’s NOCTA line, and Virginia Black whiskey, alongside extensive real estate deals fueling a net worth estimated at $300 million. Net Worth Gyaan reiterates that along with fashion and alcohol deals, Drake is involved in sports and tech firms, revealing that his business reach is still broadening.

Drake’s social media presence was headline-worthy on September 9, when he trolled streamer Kai Cenat by posting a close-up of Kai’s forehead on Instagram—this after Kai had slammed Drake’s Iceman livestream as a waste of time. Times of India and fans on X and TikTok turned the exchange into viral content, branding Drake’s cheeky jab as classic petty behavior. Kai’s live response questioning the post’s intent only further stoked the memes and attention, making it clear Drake knows how to keep both the industry and the internet talking.

Beyond that, speculation around Drake’s stance in the current hip hop drama was fueled by a series of leaked Young Thug jail calls in which Thug, during a candid moment, criticized Drake for not doing more to aid his legal troubles—though Thug has since apologized on X, moving to distance himself from the incident. HotNewHipHop and Rap-Up both report that fans are watching closely for any fallout, but as of now, there’s more intrigue than resolution.

All told, Drake’s latest run is a masterclass in balancing business, digital presence, tour hype, and controversy—simultaneously fueling anticipation for ICEMAN while keeping himself firmly ingrained as one of music’s most influential and unpredictable figures.
